Source-derived summary

The Tiny Bang Story (Russian: Теория крошечного взрыва) is a puzzle point-and-click adventure game developed and released by Colibri Games. It was first released for Windows and macOS on Steam. In the years that followed, the game was ported to iOS, Android, Linux, AppleTV, and Nintendo Switch. A port to Windows Phone had also existed.

Gameplay

The Tiny Bang Story takes place on an unnamed planet that was shattered into numerous jigsaw pieces by the explosion of a nearby soccer-shaped asteroid. The player is tasked with rebuilding the planet by collecting the missing pieces hidden throughout the game.

The game is progressed through completing a total of 30 puzzles. Some puzzles may be attempted upon first encounter, but most puzzles in the game require the player to collect additional hidden objects to unlock.

Notably, The Tiny Bang Story contains no spoken or written text except in menus. The player interacts with non-player characters only through visual cues.

Editorial reviewA dependable orientation record for establishing vocabulary, names and a first evidence trail. The current 157-word lead offers orientation but no explicit four-digit date, so chronology should not be assumed. The linked authority record independently contributes the date 2011-04-22. Its strongest next move is a source search built around Tiny, Bang and Story.
Editorial analysis

Why this record matters

“The Tiny Bang Story” is worth following because a concise public description often conceals a longer documentary argument. Here, Tiny, Bang and Story provides the most credible route into that argument.

Evidence profile

Vocabulary and entity names are the principal evidence signals here, because they determine the precision of every later search. The source revision retrieved here is dated Jun 29, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q11315724. 3 of 3 selected statements include explicit references; 2 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank.

Critical limits

The absence of detail may reflect summary conventions rather than a lack of surviving documentation. The source lead contains qualifying language; that uncertainty should survive quotation, summary and reuse. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
